Honda Tyre Size and Numbers
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on March 10, 2021
I have just purchased a used Honda Accord Euro 2005. I did not check the tyre number while purchasing. Yesterday one the tyres was bursted. Then I matched the tyre number mentioned in the door of the car and actually installed tyres. The recommended tyre numbers on the door were 205/55R16 91V ans 225/45R17 91W however, the tyre number of installed tyres was 215/40zr17. What do you recommend? Should I install 215/40zr17 or should I change all the four tyres? Additionally please let me know what is difference between 91V and 91W on tyres number. Thanks

You should check the rim size, which I would assume to be 17".
The previous owner fitted a tire which was slightly narrower than specified - this will not usually make a difference.
The 91V and 91W are speed and load ratings - there are many tire shops etc detailing these details, but you should match what is fitted on the vehicle.
Here is but one site showing that information :
